Why Henner Henkel ranks #152 in Tennis

Henner Henkel ranks 152nd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1708th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 62, Honours 78, Statistics 80. Those categories are normalised against the full Tennis reference universe of 251 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1933–1939 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1937, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 1, grand slam doubles titles 2, world ranking high 3, davis cup wins 27.

Immediately ahead sits Naomi Osaka on 76.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bianca Andreescu on 76.3. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
